🚫 The “bad advice” episode: 

I’m breaking down the most common pieces of social media advice that need to go — and why they’re messing with your head more than helping your content.

⚠️ How fake “rules” spread: Why fear-based, clickbait-y tips (“you’ll get shadowbanned if…”) travel so fast — and how to spot creators who are optimizing for their views, not your growth.

❤️ Spam-liking, shadowbans & other myths: What actually happens when you like a bunch of videos, and the real line between normal behavior and “bot” behavior.

💬 “Engage from the bottom up” & other fake hacks: Why tricks like this only boost the creator who said it — and do absolutely nothing magical for your own account.

👀 Should you only follow people in your niche? I explain how that advice quietly turns you into a copycat, fuels comparison, and limits your creativity.

🎵 “Use this audio to go viral”: The truth about trending sounds, why they can sometimes help, and why anyone promising virality is… let’s just say, stretching it.

🧠 Red-flag language to watch for: Why “always,” “never,” and “guaranteed” are your cue to be skeptical — and how I personally fact-check advice before I believe it.

📈 What actually works long-term: The unsexy but real stuff — consistency, clearer storytelling, better pacing, authentic energy, experimenting, and focusing on impact over viral hits.

These are the kinds of things we dig into in this episode, so if you’ve ever felt confused or discouraged by conflicting social media advice, this one will feel like a big exhale. 🎧📺
